It <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmfus.org\/sites\/default\/files\/Prologue-Fragility-of-the-Global-System_.pdf\">lays out<\/a> just what Gallego was being groomed for and indoctrinated into&#8230; the globalist playbook for the turmoil of the coming years:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>We live in the Anthropocene age, the first age in which the activities of humankind have the potential to, in fact actually are, changing the physical character of the planet.

But the supply of global collective action is limping far behind and made more difficult to deliver precisely by the great power shifts that we witness geopolitically&#8230;.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><em>What can we, in this room, what can a broader \u201cwe\u201d do about it?<\/em><\/strong><em> I believe that the key lies in two things; legitimate, effective international organizations, institutions networks, and <strong>strategic coalitions of willing and able powers<\/strong> to lead on any given issue.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ruben Gallego was handpicked to be one of the &#8220;we&#8221; discussed here. This man is now a member of the US House of Representatives and he may very well become the next United States senator for Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>Oxford Professor Ash in 2013 eerily described the enormous power structure being assembled against the citizens of the West, a menacing colossus that has flexed its might to a withering degree in recent years:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><em>Now, thus far, <strong>I\u2019ve talked about powers<\/strong> and you may think, looking at my charts, that I\u2019m thinking only about states.
